Conduction in Nerve Fibres
Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
متن کاملAnode break excitation in single myelinated nerve fibres.
It has long been considered that anode break excitation (ABE) is not elicitable in normal isolated nerve fibres. Quite recently, one of the authors (Konishi, 1957) found that it was due to weakness of the current applied and that, if a strong current (more than ten times the rheobase) was used, a single fibre, too, gave readily ABE. The present paper deals chiefly with threshold conditions for ...
متن کاملOn the capacity current in myelinated nerve fibres.
Different equivalent circuits are presented to describe the capacity current, Ic, of potential-clamped Ranvier nodes. The corresponding transfer functions are discussed in examining the influence of the involved parameters on size and time course of Ic. The following results were obtained: i. The duration and the amplitude of Ic increased with increasing membrane capacity. ii. The amplitude of ...

متن کاملContinuous Conduction of Impulses in Peripheral Myelinated Nerve Fibers
1. Conduction of impulses in peripheral myelinated fibers of a nerve trunk is a continuous process, since with uninjured nerve fibers: (a) within each internodal segment the conduction time increases continuously and linearly with increasing conduction distance; (b) the presence of nodes of Ranvier does not result in any detectable discontinuity in the conduction of the impulse; (c) the ascendi...
